Martens Artists Reception, Sunday, May 3, 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM Erica Lauren Butler uses a variety of media to produce the vivid erotic and fantastic art gracing the walls this month at Beyond the Edge Cafe. She has recently finished a mural of Goddesses in the restroom. This is a companion piece to the Erotic Fantasy mural in the other restroom. Erica was educated at Vincennes University with a full art scholarship. She worked in New York City as a staff designer for A to Z applique.. She designed and completedstoryboards and layouts for the CD-ROM Game "Castle Infinity for StarWave, illustrated "Zaki's First Fast" for Amica Publications and is currently writing and illustrating her first graphic novel, titled "Earthmage Chronicles." Helena R. Martens says about herself and her art: "I am a self taught, spiritually motivated fantasy illustrator. My imagery flows invariably from the infinite wellsprings of the divine feminine. I use a fusion of personal exploration and defined organic form to creatively manifest the magic of life." http://www.wolfenet.com/~aubrey/cage/aubrey.htm
